the sweetest thing

Spring Blossom Mojo


Nothing brings back my mojo like a fun sketch and a favorite stamp set, and not to mention fun new paper!  The sketch is Julee's MOJO125 and I instantly fell in love with it - the rounded edge is so unique and I loved the ribbon element.  I used my favorite tree from Trendy Trees as well as some super fab paper, Sweet Pea and I just got my satin ribbon share in the mail from Nancy, so I had to use that too, yay!!!  I stamped the tree top in Pretty In Pink ink and then used Rose Red and Taken With Teal Stampin' Write markers to accent other little leaves to give it the illusion the tree is blooming.  Soooo ready for spring, it's not even funny!

That's it for now - thanks for stopping by.
Karen
